Morning, December 25th, Christmas day. Poppy was awake and hyper active, jumping around in excitement for Christmas. "Branch! Branch! Wake up! It's Christmas!" She squealed in excitement. Branch yawned but woke up. "Merry Christmas Poppy." he said sleepily. The 2 looked out the window to see the little kids opening up their presents. Today, Poppy had 1 mission. it was the last day before Christmas was to be over, so she was going to make this party, so big so huge, Branch wouldn't be able to not be in the Christmas Spirit. This was going be the biggest party she's ever thrown. Poppy went out onto the Troll Tree. "Merry Christmas! Happy Holidays!" Was all you could hear. Everyone was happy, enjoying this joyous holiday. Poppy had gotten gifts for all her friends. She as gonna give them to them at the party. She went to the old village with her friend Harper to set up the party whilst Branch stayed back in Bergen Town to deliver the invitations to the trolls and Bergens. Poppy purposely made Branch stay back because she didn't want him to see exactly what was being setup. The old pods that belonged to the former residents, Poppy tuned them into Giant (For the trolls atleast) Christmas ornaments, she used her old pod and turned into a Christmas Tree with the help of her friend Harper and added a few decorations to it. At the base of her pod, Poppy laid out all the gifts she had gotten for her friends. There were many. But 1 distinctive Blue wrapped present stood out of the others. It was Branch's She hoped that he would like it. This party was gonna be lit. Fire works, loud music, bright lights and good times. Something that the Trolls wanted to do ever since they made peace with the Bergens. After a couple of hours, Poppy and Harper finished setting up the village. They went back to Bergen town to get ready for for the party.

A few hours later

Poppy was ready and exited. She wore a red and green dress resembling the Christmasy colors, untied her ponytail and made her hair bright red with the tip white to resemble a santa hat. Branch wore a kind of hipster type outfit. But this was Christmas and he tried to make at colourful as possible. Be wore a red T-Shirt with Blue jean, red converse sneakers and a bright yellow jacket tied around his waist. He met up with Poppy. "Nice outfit dork." She said before laughing. "Oh shut up, you like it and you know it." Branch replied back. The Trolls and Bergens all headed to the old village where the party started. Everyone was singing, dancing and having a good time. Branch then went over to Poppy and gave her her gift. It was wrapped in bright pink and said on the label "From Branch to Poppy". "Thank you Branch!" Poppy said in gratitude. "You're welcome, I hope you like it." Branch replied. Poppy opened the gift. It was 2 little pet worms like Biggie's. 1 was Pink, the other was blue. They symbolised the bond that Poppy and Branch had with each other. "Oh my troll! Branch I love them!! Thank you!" Poppy exclaimed in gratitude. She picked up her worm and hugged like Biggie hugs Mr. Dinkles. "What should I name her?" Poppy asked Branch. "I think Anna would be perfect." Branch suggested. "Welcome to my world Anna." Poppy said before hugging the pink worm. "I think yours should be named Justin." Poppy suggested. "I love it." Branch said before he too started hugging the worm. Poppy then brought Branch his present. "Poppy, I told you I don't want anythi-" He was cut off. "Just open it." Poppy said. Branch opened the beautifully wrapped blue box only to find a hand sewn jacket which was purple with the sleeves in turquoise blue. It read I Love Grandma on it as its colors were the same as Branch's Grandma. Branch teared up at the sight and hugged Poppy. "Thank you Poppy." He said wiping the tears from his face. "No problem Branch. It's the least I could do" Poppy said patting him on the back. The party went on and it just got Crazier and crazier. Poppy gave Gristle and Bridget their gifts, and then, the party got so crazy to the point where Branch couldn't take it anymore. He'd been wanting to tell Poppy something for so long but he couldn't. He was in the proper Christmas spirit but Poppy just didn't see it. And for 1 good reason. She didn't see that him being with her made him happy. But his greyness just wouldn't let him show it. Branch got up on the stage where Poppy would occasionally come and talk and yelled "ENOUGH!". The music died down and everyone looked at him. "Everyone, I have something to say to Poppy." He said looking at her. "Poppy, I've been wanting to tell you this for the past few days. I don't need you to throw me a big party, I don't need you to make or get me fancy gifts even though I greatly appreciate them, I don't need you to show me how to have a proper sleepover. I just need you." Poppy eyes widened as he said this. "You're the reason I'm happy, you're the reason I have a smile on my face, you're the reason I... I'm in the Christmas spirit. I know it doesn't seem like it, but these past few days, spending time with you, baking cookies, playing in the snow and singing, have been the greatest days of my life. And I just want you to know that I value you more than anything else that I have in life. I love the jacket you gave me. But out of all my Christmas presents, you're the best one I could have asked for." Branch said. Poppy had tears in her eyes. She was trying so hard to get Branch to enjoy himself when really, she's the only person that can do that. She ran over to Branch and gave him a big hug. "I didn't know Branch. I thought you were not enjoying Christmas." She said quietly. Branch hugged her back. "Merry Christmas Poppy." He said. "Merry Christmas Branch." She replied before everyone started cheering for them and the party went on. Poppy was happy that, Branch really was in the Christmas spirit, and Branch was happy that he had the time of his life over those past 5 days.
